Would you consider this palette hoarding?

I was at a friends last night and we ended up watching episode after episode of hoarders which was shocking and frightening at the same time.

Today I read a comment asking to see my makeup collection so I pulled out my palettes out of their respective drawers for a photo and realized I have more than I thought. Also I realized how anxious I was about my hubby coming up and seeing how many I own. needless to say, they went back very quickly!

I'm wondering if this is too many or if I'm just sitting pretty. I do use them all save for the nars ones.

Yes, it is the too faced indulgence palette. I got it last yr but still havent used it. My go to currently, is the guerlain palette. I like using the light blue shimmer in the inner corners and the darker brown on my crease. There eyeshadows are super smooth and silky

Lately I've been trying really hard to work with what I've got. The newest of the bunch would be the Monarch & Spellbinding. (I'm a bit of a Kat Von D fan) Being a student & working part time doesn't give me all the pallets in the world, but every time I get a new one it's like Christmas. I can't wait to open it & play with all the possibilities. & you're not alone. I don't think my boyfriend realizes how much I spend on my cosmetics & I'd rather him not find out lol.

I find it harder to use the older ones of the bunch, well... Cause they're older.. & the quality, unfortunately Isn't up to par compared to the newer shadows. But holding on to them definitely brings back some nostalgia.

Check out Tarababyz on YouTube. Now that girl has a ridiculous amount of makeup. I think she had to make two parts to get through all of it. Those videos literally made my jaw drop.

But I guess if you're collecting something that you can actually use then it can't be that bad, right?

Haha, yeah I took a solid hour of my time watching her makeup room tour! In her defence, she is soooooooo organized! what a great personality she has! I can't help but wonder what she does for a living to support her ever growing treasure trove! It's gorgeous and frightening!

Great collection, andreabonder! I have the same Kat Von D Tattoo Chronicles Palette as you. I used it the other day for the first time in a long time and remembered how amazing it was! The colors in it are just amazing!

It takes a lot to admit that you have a wonderful selectionand that you show it to the world of make up comnnessiours......ENJOY

Re: Would you consider this palette hoarding?

This is a nice collection! It reflects focus, which I think is important. The thing that makes someone a hoarder is when they don't have any direction to their collection and have too much at the same time. Not the case here. Seems like you have a style to what you like, and I respect that even if those items wouldn't necessarily be in mine.
